<p>^^Actually, no. The NCAA Division I National Championships are actually happening right now. For the link to the live video of session II go to: [CBS</a> College Sports All-Access](<a href=“http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.html?code=ncaa&media=113214]CBS”>http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.html?code=ncaa&media=113214). The meet will be televised on CBS on May 9 at 2:00PM Eastern. The teams are Georgia, Florida, LSU, Utah State, Oklahoma, UCLA, Penn State, Stanford, Alabama, Oregon, Arkansas, and Illinois/Champagne.</p>
<p>There are 63 women’s DI gymnastics teams. The top 36 make it to post-season. The top 12 from the regional meets make it to Nationals. This year, Yale came in 63rd, Brown 62nd, UPenn 60th, and Cornell 54th. This is pretty much the norm if you look back several years. </p>
<p>The meet Cornell won (and I think they tied with Bridgeport, a DII team) was the USAG Collegiate Nationals. This is a meet sponsored by the governing body of club gymnastics in the United States (USAG). It is meant to be a venue for teams to compete in the post season who would otherwise not be able to. It includes all of the DII teams (there are only 5, hence they are unable to have an NCAA championship as the requirement is a minimum of 7 teams) and all of the Ivies except UPenn (not sure why). </p>
<p>Congrats to Cornell for winning! Gymnastics is a brutally difficult sport and, even at the DII and DIII (and lower DI) levels, these young women are amazing athletes who have likely sacrificed greatly to get where they are.</p>
